The Journalistic Turd in the Punch Bowl

Women are buying more guns, though studies suggest self-defense use is rare… A Harvard University analysis found people defended themselves with a gun in less than 1% of crimes from 2007 to 2011. More recently, a Stanford University study of 17.6 million Californians found that people who lived with handgun owners but did not own a gun themselves died by homicide more than twice as often as their gun-free neighbors.

If what they say is true, NRA families must be self-destructing at an astonishing rate.

Somebody at Faux News decided it was important to offset reality by citing “statistics” and talking points from people who want to ban guns. Nothing like assigning such stories to a self-described “cat lady.”

Tucker Carlson Must Be Destroyed!

Ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson texted producer “It’s not how white men fight,” report says [More]

See? He’s a racist! And anyone who he influences is a racist!

They’re throwing everything they’ve got at him to smear him and make him radioactive so no one else will pick him up and take his audience with him.

Angie Craig’s office criticizes Fox News after receiving threatening messages over DC attack [More]

Rivera, a gun owner, was illustrating that the Second Amendment didn’t cover modern firearms capable of mass killings when the amendment was ratified in 1791. And that AR-15-style rifles go far beyond self-defense. [More]

Ah, the long-debunked “The Founders could have never imagined” bullsh!+.

Figures this moron would be spreading it.

I recall writing an Examiner article years back where a guy was prosecuted for having a muzzleloader in New York City. I can’t find it now and don’t recall the details, but it would be funny if Geraldo incriminated himself.

How he got it in the studio is another question.

And figures, HuffPo would think he won the argument.
